Reliance Jio’s True 5G available in Pune starting Nov 23; check details

Reliance Jio, on Wednesday, announced that Jio True 5G will now be available in Pune from November 23. The telecom company said that now Pune residents can recharge their sim with the ‘Jio Welcome offer’ at no additional cost. The offer will provide unlimited high-speed 5G data with up to 1 Gbps speed.

Jio, in a statement, said that it began "Beta testing of its True 5G network in a city only when a large part of the city is covered by its StandAlone True 5G network, so that Jio customers get good coverage and experience the most advanced Jio 5G network".

Jio Spokesperson, while commenting on this announcement, said, “Post the launch of Jio True 5G in 12 cities, large number of Jio users have enrolled into the Jio Welcome Offer thereby helping Jio with customer and service feedback to create what will be the most advanced 5G network anywhere in the world.”

“As expected, the data usage on Jio’s True 5G network is many-a-times higher than the current data consumed on Jio’s 4G network. What stands out is that this data experience is being delivered at break-neck speeds ranging anywhere between 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps and at extremely low latency that enables use-cases across various verticals that only a True 5G network can bring to life,” the spokesperson added.

The company also revealed that Pune has a large student population and is regarded as a leading IT hub, as well as one of the most important automobile and manufacturing hubs in the country, claiming that Jio True 5G will be a true game changer for Punekars.

The telecom provider also claims that the data usage on Jio’s True 5G network is many-a-times higher than the current data consumed on Jio’s 4G network.
